I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 388 Yusaku Kudo: Why are there cosplay outfits everywhere in my closet?
The Kudo residence, main hall.

Tadahira Kashimura had already taken his seat.

He wasn't worried about whether today's plan could proceed as scheduled. As long as Thomas Sindora made his move and Yusaku Kudo was willing to attend the Koko Games press conference, he could achieve his goal of getting Thomas Sindora imprisoned.

Therefore, he seemed even more relaxed than Yusaku Kudo next to him.

It was as if Kudo Yusaku, not him, was the one whose life might be in danger in today's plan.

—Kashimura Tadahira's attitude made Kudo Yusaku feel slightly uneasy.

The two were old classmates who met in college and kept in touch after graduation. Naturally, they had a certain understanding of Kashimura Tadahira's personality. Seeing Kashimura Tadahira like this, he couldn't help but say...
"Kenmura, are you already prepared to die?"

Yusaku Kudo spoke very frankly and directly this time.

However, Kashimura Tadahira paused for a moment, then answered affirmatively.

"Even a ten-year-old child can do something like dying, so naturally I have no problem with it either."

“If I’m not prepared to die, then I’m naturally not good enough to be the bait and lure Thomas Sindora out, right? Don’t worry too much, Kudo, maybe my time to die hasn’t come yet.”

Kashimura Tadahira's words caused Kudo Yusaku to fall silent for a moment.

Indeed, if a plan that might lead to death is executed, but the executor is not prepared to die, then the plan will most likely collapse due to the executor's fear of death.

Yusaku Kudo, a mystery novelist who emphasizes logic,

Yusaku Kudo had written similar scenes in his books more than once, but when such scenes actually appeared in reality, he still felt a little shocked.

The deepest and most difficult fear for humankind to overcome is death.

"You are not yet ready to die."

The gate to the Kudo residence was pushed open.

Chen En's figure appeared at the gate.

He closed the door behind him, went to sit opposite Kashimura Tadahira, and sat down with Kudo Yusaku. Then, to the astonishment of Kudo Yusaku and Kashimura Tadahira, he pulled out a long string of things from somewhere.

Chen En said,

"Take this with you. Even if something happens to me, you can at least ensure your own safety."

Tadahiro Kashimura: ?
The IT engineer, who was already prepared to die, looked Chen En up and down at the long, clattering string of things in his hand, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, and asked,

"May I ask what this is?"

Hearing this, Chen En sneered and said,

"This is the ultimate weapon I developed, a twelve-in-one ultimate weapon."

"Two tranquilizer grenades, two flashbangs, two smoke grenades, two stun grenades, two stun guns, and two pepper sprays. I'll also install a hard-to-find infrared sensor and a hidden camera in the corridor, connected to your Bluetooth headset."

"This will ensure that you can spot Thomas Sindora immediately, no matter which direction he comes from."

“If I’m not around, use these items for self-defense. There are surveillance records. Using these to take down Thomas Sindora might be slightly controversial, but the reason Thomas Sindora came at you with a knife to kill you will not change. At most, it will be considered excessive self-defense.”

Tadahiro Kashimura: ?
Tadahiro Kashimura blinked.
He reached out and took the twelve-in-one ultimate weapon that Chen En had conjured up. He held it up, measured its length, and couldn't help but swallow hard—no, what kind of god-like teammate had Kudo found for him?

These things all look dangerous, he suddenly thought, recalling Chen En's previous plan. At first, Kashimura Tadahira doubted whether Chen En had any chance of defeating Thomas Sindora, who had the blood of Jack the Ripper, in a one-on-one fight, but now he had no doubts.

This mysterious Chinese martial arts master seems to practice unrestricted combat techniques and uses criminal law as his internal energy cultivation.

He remembered that Yusaku Kudo had mentioned to him before that when Kudo was researching for his novel, he would consult a Chinese martial arts master who lived in Beika-cho Chinatown. It seemed that the person in front of him was a Chinese martial arts master, or a disciple of the master.

It truly lives up to its reputation!
—For some reason, seeing Chen En appear caused his thoughts to subtly change.

Kashimura Tadahiro pondered for a moment before placing the long string inside his suit jacket. He then asked Kudo Yusaku for two small hooks and hung the twelve-in-one weapon at each end on the inside hooks of his suit jacket.

He looks like Tadahiro Kashimura is just a little bit more muscular, but the difference isn't that big.

These props are the same ones used by Phantom Thief Kid and Batman, designed for portability and small size. If it weren't for the large quantity and the fact that Tadahiro Kashimura doesn't possess magic tricks...
Otherwise, you could stuff them into your clothes like Chen En did, and you could even put in a couple more strings without any problem.

After obtaining the ultimate weapon, Kashimura Tadahira finally left the Kudo residence.

Although he didn't think he would need it, he inexplicably felt a bit more confident. After all, if he could legally take revenge while still alive, who would be willing to pay the price of their life to avenge their enemy?

After Kashimura Tadahira left,

Chen En pulled out a cup of coffee from somewhere.
He took a sip, feeling his energy return and becoming much more alert. He turned to look at Yusaku Kudo beside him, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then asked,
"Mr. Kudo, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something you want to ask me?"

Hearing this, Yusaku Kudo nodded with a somewhat serious expression and said,

"Batman, I've encountered something very strange, and I'd like to ask if you have any clues."

"This is really strange, don't be afraid."

Chen En: ?
Chen En frowned slightly.
As the Batman handpicked by the system, he had received professional training and was naturally not afraid. Therefore, Chen En said in a low voice,
"What's wrong? How can I help you?"

Yusaku Kudo then said,
"I was only away from home for one day yesterday, and when I came back today and opened my closet, I found it full of cosplay outfits. Do you think Yukiko is planning to make a comeback as a cosplay enthusiast?"

Chen En: ?
Have you lost your mind too? If you had even glanced at the clothing size, you wouldn't have said that.

He shook his head and said,
"You'll have to ask Mrs. Kudo about that; it's the clothes she bought for Conan."

"By the way, Mr. Kudo, where is she now?"

Yusaku Kudo replied thoughtfully.
"At the Mori Detective Agency."

------

Not long after Conan left the Mouri Detective Agency, Yukiko Kudo came to visit.

She glanced around with some regret and, finding Conan wasn't in the office, couldn't help but sigh. Ran, who was preparing ingredients, looked curiously at Yukiko Kudo... and the panda pajamas in Yukiko Kudo's hand.

Ran Mouri: ?

"Hey, Xiaolan, come here for a second."

Yukiko Kudo's eyes lit up, and she made up her mind. She smiled and beckoned to Ran Mouri.
When Ran Mouri arrived, full of doubt, she quietly pulled Ran aside to a corner, pulled out the photos taken the day before, and whispered something to Ran, making Ran's heart flutter.

Finally, both of them turned their attention to the panda pajamas.

At that moment, Conan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
